La Voix de l’Évangile, Québec is a vital part of the extensive radio work of MissionGO
which reaches into many French-speaking countries of the world. The broadcasts are recorded in the studio of the radio follow-up office in Châteauguay.
The ministry began in 1955 in the Back to the Bible Broadcast studios in Lincoln, Nebraska through a staff member who spoke French fluently and had a burden for the French-speaking people of the world. An office was soon established in Aix-en-Provence in France.
In 1974, an office was opened in Châteauguay, Québec, under the direction of MissionGO representatives, Clarence and Pearl Shelly. At the present time, the broadcasts are aired on one station in Montreal and one in Champlain, NY. Stephen Frank became the director of La Voix de l’Évangile, Québec in 2006. His wife, Karen, is also a representative of MissionGO.
The weekly French-language 15-minute broadcast features Pastor Michel Martel, a Québec evangelist who faithfully teaches the Word of God. Audio messages (in French only) are available on CDs at a reasonable cost as well as approximately 40 books in French on the Christian life.

Aches and Praise Six Hundred & Twenty Three
Have you ever read something that you want to tell others about right away? Last night, I read a very helpful section of a book entitled “When I Don’t Desire God” by John Piper that I would like to share with you. It contains an acronym that is easy to remember.
“Almost every day I pray early in the morning that God would give me desires for him and his Word, because the desires I ought to have are absent or weak. In fact, I follow the acronym myself that I have given to many people to help them fight for joy.
I – (Incline!) The first thing my soul needs is an inclination toward God and his Word. Without that, nothing else will happen of any value in my life. I must want to know God and read his Word and draw near to him. Where does that ‘want to’ come from? It comes from God. So Psalm 119:36 teaches us to pray, ‘Incline my heart to your testimonies, and not to selfish gain!’ Very simply we ask God to take our hearts, which are more inclined to breakfast and the newspaper, and change that inclination. We are asking that God create desires that are not there.
O – (Open!) Next I need to have the eyes of my heart opened so that when my inclination leads me to the Word, I see what is really there, and not just my own ideas. Who opens the eyes of the heart? God does. Psalm 119:18 teaches us to pray, ‘Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law.’ So many times we read the Bible and see nothing wonderful. Its reading does not produce joy. So what can we do? We can cry to God: ‘Open the eyes of my heart, O Lord, to see what it says about you as wonderful.’
U – (Unite!) Then I am concerned that my heart is badly fragmented. Parts of it are inclined, and parts of it are not. Parts see wonder, and parts say, ‘That’s not so wonderful.’ What I long for is a united heart where all parts say a joyful Yes! to what God reveals in his Word. Where does that wholeness and unity come from? It comes from God. So Psalm 86:11 teaches us to pray, ‘Unite my heart to fear your name.’ Don’t stumble over the word fear when you thought we were seeking joy. The fear of the Lord is a joyful experience when you renounce all sin. A thunderstorm can be a trembling joy when you know you can’t be destroyed by lightning. ‘O Lord, let your ear be attentive to … the prayer of your servants who delight to fear your name’ (Neh. 1:11). ‘His delight shall be in the fear of the Lord’ (Isa. 11:3). Therefore pray that God would unite your heart to joyfully fear the Lord.
S – (Satisfy!) What I really want from all this engagement with the Word of God and the work of his Spirit in answer to my prayers is for my heart to be satisfied with God and not with the world. Where does that satisfaction come from? It comes from God. So Psalm 90:14 teaches us to pray, ‘Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.’”
May we apply the truths of this acronym to our lives and be lights for God in this world of darkness.
Scripture for the weekend: “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law He meditates day and night.” Psalm 1:1-2 (NKJV)
By His grace,
